2015 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · NG64 GYB

This 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 14 January 2026 at 5,264 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is not an isolated result. The vehicle has passed every single annual test since at least January 2022 without a single advisory or failure item. This five-year unblemished record indicates a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order, with no recurring faults, no emerging wear patterns, and no deferred repairs. The maintenance trend is stable and, by the evidence, improving in the sense that the car has remained fault-free as it ages. The mileage profile is exceptionally low. At approximately 479 miles per year over eleven years, this Fiesta has seen minimal use. The recorded mileages show a gradual and consistent accumulation: 4,453 miles in January 2022, 4,778 in January 2023, 4,991 in January 2024, 5,110 in January 2025, and 5,264 in January 2026. The annual increments hover between roughly 120 and 230 miles, which is remarkably steady. There are no sudden jumps suggesting a period of heavy use, nor are there suspicious gaps indicating the car sat unused for extended periods. The odomery pattern is coherent and plausible for a lightly used urban or short-trip vehicle. Despite the clean MOT record, a low-mileage car of this age warrants careful physical inspection. Components that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than mileage should be a priority. Rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers can perish from dry rot and ozone exposure even when a car covers fewer than 500 miles annually. Tyres may appear to have adequate tread but could be suffering from sidewall cracking and perished rubber if the original fitment dates back several years. Brake discs and calipers are prone to surface corrosion and seizure on vehicles that sit for long intervals, even if the tester did not flag binding or uneven braking during a short test drive. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the car has been garaged in damp conditions or left standing on grass or standing water. A prospective buyer should also verify the service history independently. MOT records confirm roadworthiness at the time of testing but do not document oil changes, coolant condition, brake fluid replacement, or cambelt integrity. On a car this age with this mileage profile, the cambelt interval is likely overdue by years rather than miles, and degraded coolant or brake fluid could indicate neglected fluid servicing. The clean MOT record is a strong positive signal, but it does not substitute for a thorough mechanical inspection focused on age-related deterioration rather than wear-related failure.
